At Farington Nursery, we believe that strong, positive relationships between parents/carers and our dedicated team are at the heart of every child’s success. Our open communication ensures that our families are kept informed, involved, and supported throughout their child’s early learning journey.
By working closely together, we create a nurturing environment where children feel safe, understood, and confident to explore and grow.
Our pastoral support extends beyond the classroom, offering reassurance and guidance to families, so every child thrives both emotionally and academically.
Together, we build a caring community where every child’s potential is truly nurtured.

Your Child's 'Key Person'
Every child will have key person at Farington Nursery; a key person has special responsibility for a small group of children. Every child will have their own key person from the beginning of their involvement with Nursery. A key person will ensure that the needs of each child are recognised within the Nursery and tailor their learning and care to meet their individual needs. This is as follows:
- To assist the child to settle into the Nursery.
- Introducing the child/parents to the Nursery and communicating with parents.
- Assisting the child to integrate into the Nursery as necessary.
- To provide for the emotional needs of the child e.g., to comfort and reassure the child at any time of distress. To care for the child e.g., toileting
- Observing, keeping records, and monitoring the child’s progress including working with parents to produce a progress check.
- Liaising with parents, encouraging them to provide up to date information.
- To develop a day-to-day rapport with parents, informing parents of their child’s activities, using Blossom (online) and being available, especially at the beginning and end of each session
- To contribute information about individual children’s needs to the planning of the nursery’s curriculum framework whilst respecting confidentiality as necessary
- To record observations via Blossom and share these with parents.
It is important to remember that a KEY PERSON does NOT-:
- Shadow their children throughout the session
- Liaise only with her key group of children.
- Prevent other adults from developing a relationship with their key children.
